By the end of this course, the students should be able to prepare 5-minute English presentations, and they should understand the cultural norms of giving presentations in an English speaking context.
To this end, the students will be required to work on improving their English communication and presentation skills in the following areas as described in the textbook:
1) Creating a confident "Physical Message" which utilizes good posture, eye contact, gestures, and voice inflection.
2) Displaying a clear "Visual Message"
3) Writing a well structured "Story Message" with a good introduction, body, and conclusion.
概要:
The objective of this course is to develop the oral English communication skills necessary for winning a high school level English speech/presentation contest. The course will focus on strategies for creating and delivering presentations, and plenty of English language support will be provided by the textbook and the teacher as needed.
授業の進め方・方法:
Every two weeks, we will practice a different technique for displaying confidence in English presentations, such as making good eye contact, showing natural gestures, using audience-friendly visual aids, and so on. Each technique will be practiced in a short (2-minute) speech. Then, all of the techniques will be combined and used for a final, 5-minute English presentation.
注意点:
Active participation in English is essential for completing this course successfully. During this class, being more than 15 minutes late, doing coursework for other professors, sleeping, talking out-of-turn at length, playing smart phone games, and any similar actions that distract one's focus away from class will result in a recorded absence or a required make-up class.
